Hello Nicola and thanks for bringing such an interesting question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
As the current British Mum here on the Panel I'm always delighted to offer some assistance to another lovely Guest from the United Kingdom with their families jolly holiday plans to visit the magic and wonder of Walt Disney World Resort.
I have some very fond memories of days spent relaxing at both of Disney's amazing water parks! My family particularly enjoys the laid back atmosphere and surfing beach theme of
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park where there's nothing better than completing what's sure to be a splashtastic day by hiring either a
Getaway Glen Umbrella or
Beachcomber Shack; hire can be arranged on the day of visit from
Singapore Sals or ahead of time as you've already done by speaking to a Cast Member via the
freephone numbers contained within this handy
Walt Disney World Resort Phone Directory.
I'm happy to share that in my own families experience of hiring a Beachcomber Shack on the day of visit at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park we firstly made our way to Singapore Sals where Cast Members allotted our beach-space for the day before kindly showing us directly to our Shack and ensuring that we knew where everything was.
I also thought you may find this
Disney Parks Blog - Moms Panel Monday: Water Parks Fun at Walt Disney World Resort to be an extra useful planning resource for your upcoming Disney holiday!
Have a great Disney day.
